This is all so silly
I'm Latino, but my avatar is black because shes PRETTER THAN THE WHITE AVATARS TO ME LMAO That's literally IT.
As long as you're not going around speaking in AAVE and mocking black culture, having a black avatar isn't CULTURAL APPROPRIATION or BLACK FISHING. I need y'all to touch some grass and stop with the virtue signaling. Now, if any black users want to talk about it, I'm all ears.
I have always created black and brown characters in video games because, for a long time, they didn't exist in video games! I like the way clothes look better on this avatar and God forbid we have one less blonde white avi on Kovaze.
Your virtual avatar is not your identity.

It's giving: "Because I'm guilty of this it can't be wrong"
please dont touch my poonanie
You make good points especially with the video game comment and you not speaking AAVE and mocking the culture which I think people who have tend to dress up in black avatars have done before (especially on tengaged). I think it is important to get input from black voices because they matter but this site and should be a safe place for all. These things should not go unnoticed.
what is AAVE???

I don’t think you were the target of any of those points. There are people on here who absolutely do all of those things you said are unacceptable, but for some reason on here defending your friends is more important than having any morals.
Ethan I agree that I was not the target of the posts but people have made snide little remarks to me in the past and it pisses me off LOL
Yeah but defending cultural appropriation brings you woke points
